Abstract:
Objective To explore the sonographic features of intrascrotal adenomatoid tumor.Methods The sonographic features of 21 cases with intrascrotal adenomatoid tumor confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results Twenty-one cases with intrascrotal adenomatoid tumor could be typed into 3 ultrasonic patterns:(1) The homogeneous echo type:15 cases,their ultrasonic features were homogeneous echo,including 5 cases with low echo,8 case with equal echo,and 2 case with high echo;5 cases with testicular albuginea adenomatous tumors were also homogeneous echo,2 cases of equal echo,2 cases of low echo and 1 case of high echo that was posterior echo attenuation slightly.(2) The edge halo type:4 cases,they showed the epididymis or testis sheath round or oval nodules,of which the middle was low echo and the edge is high echo halo ring.(3) The mixed echo type:2 cases,they showed cystic mixed echo of epididymis nodules,1 case with irregular cystic areas and poor sound transmission,while the other one with good sound transmission cystic areas and a small papillae on the wall.Conclusions Sonography is a valuable method for diagnosis of intrascrotal adenomatoid tumor.The edge halo type has sonographic features.
